ball stick to wall...

Hi there guys

I have created a ball that is moved by using AddForce. I also have a rigidbody component attached to it with rubber physivs material. The surface mesh that it is moving on also have the rubber physics material, but not a rigid body.

Now, after tweeking the material friction settings I got a decent golf-ball like behaviour with regards to bounce against the walls. The problem is that it bounces to a certain extend, then suddenly "stick" against the wall.

Any ideas why this would happen?

Thanks

 

fixed

had to change the global physics settings...

 

What exactly did you change? I'm having the same issue.

 

Solved - although mine wasn't a Physics settings adjustment. I had two colliders overlapping each other in fixed kinematic rigidbodies. When a rolling ball touched these two colliders, it had a tendency to stick to them. When I removed one collider the problem went away.

I've noticed Unity does NOT like overlapping colliders, unless one is a Mesh collider and not a primitive cube, capsule, or sphere collider..

 

thanks, will remember

 

Good point.

 

Not sure if I should bump this, but this was the first thread google brought up for me about that problem and I was kind of annoyed that I had to go on searching for quite a while although the solution was found by op.

So here it goes:

Go to Edit > Project Settings > Physics
Lower the value of "Bounce Threshold", possibly to zero.
Done.

 

Thanks a bunch. I have searched so much and have tried so many things. But, this was the final piece of the puzzle for me.

 

thanks, bud. that was the best solution for me. thanks again

 

You saved me too!
